Slams door for sixth save
Lange secured the save Monday against the Rays, throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.
Análise
Since taking over as Kansas City's primary closer, Lange been very effective on the mound. The 30-year-old right-hander has successfully converted each of his last six save opportunities, giving up just two earned runs across 10 innings during the month of June so far. With Lucas Erceg being unreliable and Carlos Estevez (shoulder) still on the shelf, Lange is solidifying his hold as the club's favorite for saves.

Records fifth save of season
Lange earned the save Friday against the Cardinals after a scoreless one-third of an inning, allowing one hit. He did not record a strikeout or a walk.
Análise
Lange entered the game with two outs and a three-run lead, but he tossed a wild pitch and later gave up a two-run single to Blaze Jordan. However, Lange would close the game out by retiring Jose Fermin. Since Carlos Estevez has dealt with ankle, foot and shoulder injuries and is currently on the 60-day IL, Lange doesn't have much competition for the closer role. Even though he clinched the save here, Lange has given up three runs (two earned) on four hits with a 2:3 K:BB over four innings in his last four appearances.
